WWE Superstar Roxanne Perez shared a heartfelt message after reaching a major milestone in wrestling. Perez defeated The Judgment Day's Raquel Rodriguez earlier this month on WWE RAW to qualify for the Women's Elimination Chamber match.
The former NXT Women's Champion shared that she has spent ten years in wrestling and wanted to accomplish a major goal. She shared a heartfelt message today on social media, noting that she promised herself a decade ago that she would make it to WrestleMania someday. The 23-year-old added that she would not let the opportunity pass her by and dedicated the Women's Elimination Chamber match to her younger self.
"10 years ago I began my wrestling journey and made a promise to my 13 year old self that I’d make it to Wrestlemania one day. I won’t let it slip through my fingers, this one’s for her. #EliminationChamberRox," she wrote.
The winner of the Women's Elimination Chamber match will earn a Women's World Championship match against Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 41. Charlotte Flair won the Women's Royal Rumble match earlier this month and selected WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton as her WrestleMania opponent.
